Is for you to help you

Are these sentences correct:

1-These DVDs are for you, to help you learn French faster.
2-This map is for you, to help you find your way in town.

Are the commas necessary?

Gratefully,
Navi.

navitasan Are the commas necessary? Yes. The part after the comma explains the for -phrase more explicitly as if written thus: These DVDs are for you, that is, in order to help you learn French faster.
